Response of a Reptile Guild to Forest Harvesting

Conservation Biology, 2008
Abstract:  Despite the growing concern over reptile population declines, the effects of modern industrial silviculture on reptiles have been understudied, particularly for diminutive and often overlooked species such as small‐bodied snakes.

Italy: Forest harvesting is the opposite of green growth

Nature, 2021
The loss of trees in Italy’s forests in recent years (go.nature.com/3yzvdp9) is only partly explained by disturbances such as Storm Vaia in 2018, and salvage logging thereafter. The dominant driver is the production of wood fuel (D. Pettenella et al. Forest@ 18, 1–4; 2021), mainly from coppice. This probably removes about 50% of estimated annual growth

ON THE OPTIMAL FOREST HARVESTING DECISION

Economic Inquiry, 1983
This paper deals with the problems of when and whether to harvest a stand of timber which provides valuable services intact as well as when harvested. The analysis extends a previous treatment with the result that it is optimal not to harvest more often and for a greater number of reasons than had been realized.

Forest harvest byproducts: Use of waste as energy

Waste Management, 2020
Forest harvest waste is an attractive biomass feedstock for biofuel production. However, for better use it is necessary to understand the physical-energetic characteristics of the biomass which composes the waste. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the bark, wood and tree top characteristics from Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis (called ...

Optimal harvest of industrial forests

Journal of Environmental Management, 1991
Optimal harvest of forests in a partly integrated forest-industry enterprise is studied. The present value of expected total profits of the enterprise is maximized. The timber supply curve of the industrial forest is derived. It is found that, in the environment of uncertainty in future timber prices and timber supply from non-industrial private ...

The Effects of Forest Harvesting on Forest Hydrology and Biogeochemistry

2011
The hydrological consequences of forest harvesting are arguably the longest-studied aspect of interactions between hydrology and land cover or land use. Chang (2003) notes that increased understanding of interactions between forest management and hydrology led to enactment of forest protection laws in China as early as 300 BC, while the Swiss initiated

An ecological approach to forest harvesting

Journal of Northeast Forestry University, 1990
This paper deals with the relationships between forest harvesting and forest ecology. It proposes basing annual cuts and forest operation plans on ecological principles. Harvestablc forest resources arc decreasing and regeneration is slow. The combination of forest harvesting with ecology can be viewed as a solution to the forest harvesting dilemma in ...

Forest Harvest and Landscape Management

1994
When designing a plan to harvest forest products, forest managers face a variety of questions: Will the plan yield the most satisfactory profit commensurate with short- and long-term expectations? Does the plan promote or allow for the establishment of an adequate crop of new individuals of desirable species? Is the environmental impact acceptable? How

Mushroom harvesting ants in the tropical rain forest

Naturwissenschaften, 2008
Ants belong to the most important groups of arthropods, inhabiting and commonly dominating most terrestrial habitats, especially tropical rainforests. Their highly collective behavior enables exploitation of various resources and is viewed as a key factor for their evolutionary success.
